The Wire Reviews

I have seen many brilliant shows, and The Wire is one of them. Even the word brilliant isn't enough to put into words how good this series is. The Wire is incredibly well made, with moody lighting, striking location work that also brings atmosphere and great photography, while the music is very haunting. The Wire with its thoughtful and tense dialogue also has some of the best writing of any show I've seen, the stories are ceaselessly compelling and the characters are rich and unforgettable. All the episodes are superbly directed, and very rarely do you feel cheated at the end of episodes. The acting is superb, Dominic West and Idris Elba are especially brilliant. In conclusion, phenomenal. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Just the best cop/drama series that i ever seen.

Excellent working actors, plot very well built, I decided to watch again during this month and have not regretted it one bit.
The HBO continues to make very good series, but I really wish they made something as good as this series.

Of the genre best tv show I have ever watched and created agony waiting for the next "fix".
Characters became friends and from watching weekly opened new exciting areas in books with my appetite to discover new writers ie George Pelecanos.
The show introduced me to the high quality benchmarks of HBO and again opened diverse areas for discovery
